The Smart Season: First looks at fall's 31 hottest movies by Peter Travers


Burn After Reading
Opening September 12th
Starring Brad Pitt, George Clooney

Joel and Ethan Coen follow their austere, Oscar-winning No Country for Old Men with a goofball farce about sex, politics and gross stupidity. Hey, the brothers tagged Fargo with The Big Lebowski, so who's complaining? George Clooney plays a horn-dog treasury agent out to retrieve an incriminating disc that rogue CIA agent John Malkovich left at a gym run by Frances McDormand and Brad Pitt, both with blond hair and shit for brains. "It's part of my trilogy of idiots," says Clooney, referring to his work with Team Coen on O Brother, Where Art Thou? and Intolerable Cruelty. Can't wait.
